Abstract:
Preliminary results illustrate the possibility of charge contrast imaging (CCI) of polymeric materials. Possible CCI images of low-density polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride reveal details that may aid in the characterization of the microstructure of polymeric materials. These pictures were obtained with a Hitachi S-3000N variable pressure scanning electron microscope with the environmental secondary electron detector (ESED).
